When denial gets in the way of reality

turning-a-blind-eye-100pedals

We have all heard the saying “your gut is always right.” Despite our awareness of this truth, we still have experienced that moment where we wish we trusted our gut instincts.

It is hard for parents to believe that their children are using, lying, being dishonest, or manipulating them. Even though our strongest instincts are screaming at us to pay attention to them, many times we allow denial to override our decision-making processes.

In this podcast, I share a story about my personal experience with denial and the powerful lesson learned that empowers me to always trust my instincts now. From this mindset, I have developed the confidence to trust my instincts over everything and it has protected me from disastrous decisions ever since.
